Some say it is 32 others 34, does not matter. It has mroe light, mre filtration, more power, more space, a built in SKIMMER, and not a flow controlled skimmer, but a REAL skimmer. You can find it for ABOUT the same price, and every part of it is better. The new JBJ is nice, but the new RED SEA is @#%@%$# SWEET. It even anticipates the idea of adding a chiller, more power, a refugium, and has built them into the design. CHECK THE BAY OF E for the best prices I have seen.
I looked at it. It actually doesnt have more light in terms of watts per gallon. The JBJ has 150watts of metal halide. I believe the red sea is using T-5 or power compact and not enough light to keep sps. Red Sea has a cool power control unit though. The JBJ also have tubes and anything else built in for adding a chiller, power etc. But thanks for the input, i will have to look into it.
